Congratulations to Pyeongchang. They were good opponents and we are sure they will stage an excellent Winter Games in 2018. Commiserations, too, to Annecy and their team. Munich 2018 put together a strong bid and we are immensely proud of everyone involved. Of course we are disappointed because we came here to become the host of the 2018 Winter Games. But the IOC has decided to award this honour to another candidate and because we are a sporting team, we accept this decision. We always knew that this would be a very tough race alongside two strong competitors.
